UK : English (Traditional) US : English (Simplified)
To be fair, English could really use some simplification. It’s fucking bonkers.
Webster should have spelled the words the way they sounded while he was dropping all those u’s.
Ours is the traditional pronunciation. You fucks changed it after we left because you didn’t like to sound like provincial rebels.
Christ, we can’t even have a c/britishproblems without the yanks coming and sticking their oars in.
We didn’t start talking like “yeehaw partner this gas station has some skibidi rizz, no cap fanum tax!”
Aww is the empire sad they got out-empired?
You guys invented English, we perfected it.
took out some unnecessary letters, changed how to spell gray so everyone’s always confused about which is right. overall good stuff
It’s all a bit shit tbh mate
Nah, but it is shite
*butchered it
Yeah, well, y’all’rn’t doin’ anything interesting with it, so we made it better.
